Abstract:

The
basic aim of this study is to explore the impact of core employees on
organizational performance with a research conducted on Turkish large firms. Core
employees were taken as the personnel, working at the production functions of
firms, and their role were examined in frame of the resource-based view. Survey
forms were developed by international literature review and sent to top 500
firms of Turkey for 2010, which were determined by Istanbul Chamber of Commerce
(ISO). This study reveals statistically significant relation between value and
uniqueness and inimitability levels of core employees and organizational
performance, innovation, strategic vision, flexible design, quality
orientation, organizational culture, providing employee potential, and product
diversity; as a reflection of resource-based view of the firm. Moreover, the
analysis of data revealed the value of core employees is more effective than
their uniqueness on organizational performances. This research also indicates
the valuable and unique human resources of top Turkish firms as one of the
basic elements that lead to competitive advantage
